Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • Pinch of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or cheese of your choice)
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced or grated
  • 6 sheets phyllo dough

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  • Step 2

    On a sheet of parchment paper, drizzle olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of sugar. Add a thin layer of balsamic glaze for a tangy-sweet base.

  • Step 3

    Sprinkle half the grated Parmesan cheese over the parchment.

  • Step 4

    Evenly spread the thinly sliced or grated red onion over the cheese layer. Top with the remaining cheese for extra richness.

  • Step 5

    Place the phyllo dough sheets on top (use about 6 layers), brushing each layer lightly with olive oil to ensure crispness.

  • Step 6

    Fold the edges of the dough inward to create a rustic galette shape, as shown in the video (or imagine folding a tart’s edges over the filling).

  • Step 7

    Brush the top of the phyllo dough with a final layer of olive oil for a golden finish.

  • Step 8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the phyllo is crispy and golden brown.
